I'm not trying to sound like a big brute, just there's a lot of people out there that're committing crimes over, and over, and over again because they're not allowed to be put to death. For instant, in California there's a three strikes rule, but in New York, there isn't so you have a criminal who's been guilty of a crime eight times on the loose.
Here's an interesting fact, though: Russia is guilty until proven innocent, and we vice versa, but most of the worst criminals between the two nations are from us. (I think last I checked it was 97%, it was on a show.) I guess it's another grain to add to the bucket to explain why I sometimes think it's better. It's inhuman, but as I said, I do not value life as much as I used to.
I'm curious though...why is it better to leave them living? I'm not trying to sound self-righteous or anything, or say that my actions are more justifiable than others, but I honestly do not understand why the convict living is any better.
